This would make it easier for teams to have a robot built and bagged before break and then start competitions In either late January or early February.

Just an idea I had
I think that it would be really difficult to secure competition venues in January or February. Most of these competitions take place in college or high school basketball venues. That are almost never going to unused for long enough to host FRC events.
